I wish I had a camera-phone because words don't really do this justice, but I've never seen a player wear blood-red contact lenses like the ones that Francisco Rodriguez sported for today's bullpen session.

Instead of wearing tinted sunglasses like most players, K-Rod had lenses in that are a deep scarlet, giving his eyes the reddish hue of a vampire. A number of local TV stations taped today's interview, so you might want to check out SNY, NY1 or FOX-5 tonight to see what I'm talking about.

In KRod's defense - Bausch and Lomb used to make bright orange sunglass contact lenses for action sports and I had a pair for Sunday afternoon softball games. I hated wearing sunglasses because the lenses would get smudged and sweat would drip on them. I wore contacts anyways, so I got some of the sports tinted contact lenses with my perscription. They were AWESOME. Unfortunately, Bausch and Lomb don't make them anymore
